Los Angeles- Amboy- Las Vegas 365 miles

Partiti !!!!!!!!!!!
We have left LA at 8.00 am in a very beautiful and warm morning . I was quite sure that the trip it was very very hot !!!!!!!
After a couple hundred miles , we finally put the wheels on the mother road : the mythical 66.
I have read , saw, heard so many stories about this road that I was a bit moved when we began to ride .The temperature was very hot and I have though many times to the all people that travel on the past in these territories without to have the modern technology.


As you can see from the picture , in the desert anything can happen , also to find a Ducati logo in a lost town .
Sixty miles before Las Vegas we had to drive for more then 10 miles with a verystrong lateral wind . It`s been very difficult but at the end we made it . Honestly, I`ve been worried for a while because the wind was very strong .
Vegas : the Sin City , even a shy and polite teenager can loose his control ................. Next time I will provide the real ones.

To Mirco Concato

When I was posting the last stage I have received a bad news from Italy . A friend passed away . Mirco was riding his bicycle with the same enthusiasm I know he had since when we were working together . He`ve lost control of his mountain bike and he felt down on the dirty road hitting a rock with a head .........He didn`t stand up anymore, and he died in this stupid way . He will not jump on his bike again because from what I`ve heard he wasn`t wearing the helmet !!!!! Folks , (especially kids ) anytime that you jump on two wheels, on a skateboard , snowboard etc etc , do not forget that the helmet can save your life ! Wear it and keep it fasten !!!!!!!!!!!!! Mirco was a great man , always available when anybody of us were need something . We all will miss his energy and his smile . Goodbye my friend , I know that you are already all over us , part of that nature I `ve been so lucky to see in the last 15 days ! I `d like to imagine you in one of these clou

Jackson Hole- Yellowstone Park- Silver Gate ( Cooke City) 201 Miles

We woke up thinking to have a nice day ( from the weather point of view ) and have the possibility to visit the Park slowly ,enjoying the warm sun that was with us yesterday . We opened the curtains and ............damn`d !!!!!! It was raining . Do you know that thin rain that can continue for hours ???? Exactly that one . We didn`t to get depressed and we dressed properly to go to the park despite the bad conditions ( even the guy on the below picture it was dispppointed about the rain ) . Unfortunately , on the way to the park ( in the mean time the rain became stronger ) we have foud 11 miles of road works that force us to drive on a dirty road with a very slippery mud . The mud and the rain made the ride very tough ! Thanks God, around noon the clouds disappeared and a fantastic blue sky with a vivid sun were finally above us Under the sunlight the colours of the park changed and finally we can appreciate the beauty of the enviroment . The valley of the Yellowstone river , is
